Sitting on the toilet for ages puts way too much pressure on your rear end and pushes those veins down, which obviously speeds up the whole hemorrhoid situation...
So, get in and out in a couple of minutes, then go back to reading the news over a cup of coffee...
If things are feeling a bit too hard, don't strain—just take something or have some tea to soften things up...

Look, you don't need to run to the doctor for every little thing—I'm not saying you should be paranoid—but what you’re describing sounds pretty serious, so it'd be smart to get checked out. Especially since you mentioned you've been having issues with that... area before.
